Hexawise Test Plan Revisions

By John Hunter · May 31, 2016

Recently we added the revisions feature as an enhancement to Hexawise created test plans. This allows you to easily revert to a previous test plan for whatever reason you wish. We provide a list of each revision and the date and all you have to do is click a button to revert to that version. We also give you the option to copy that plan (in case you want to view that plan, but ​also​ want to ​keep all​ the updates you have made since then).

Now when you are editing a test plan in Hexawise you will see a revisions link on the top of the screen (see image):

Note, revisions are available in editable test plans, the revisions link is not available in uneditable test plans (such as the sample plans). I saved an editable copy of the plan into my private plans.

In the example in this post, I am using the Hexawise sample plan "F) Flight Reservations" which you can view in your own account.

One of the notes in this sample plan says we should also test for whether java is enabled or not. So I added a new paramater for java and included enabled and not-enabled as paramater values.

At a later date, if we wanted to go to a previous version all we have to do is click the revisions link (see top image) and then we get a list of all the revisions:

Mouseover the revision we want to use and we can make a copy of that version or we can revert to the version we desire.

Hexawise test plan versions make is very easy to get back to a previous version of your test plan. This has been quite a popular feature addition. I hope you enjoy it. We are constantly seeking to improve based on feedback from our users. If you have comments and suggestions please share them with us.
